He caught the eye of BA at the USA Baseball’s National team Identification Series last September, in Cary, North Carolina.

The College Baseball Blog countdown continues with their ranking and lists outfielder Daniel Bowman as the 77th top baseball player in the nation.
A lot of people have written a lot about Bowman this year, but only one (Draft Site 113th) has him listed in their mock draft. I have him as the 24th top outfielder right now, which ranges in the 3rd-6th round.
Some “macks facts”: - plays mostly right field… solid arm… at best an adequate outfielder… was named a Coca-Cola Player of the Week last year… All-Big South second team in 2009… very impressive showing in the Cape League home run contest… quick writs.

Another “new name” that surfaced this month was 2012 prospect second baseman Leon Byrd. The 5-7, 160 pound Byrd stood out in the WWBA earlier this month. I’m not sure if anyone ranked the on-base percentage from this tournament, but my guess is that Byrd was possibly the leader in this category.
Don’t have much on him… MaxPreps has him at .483/.667/.690 for 2010… plays for Cypress Hills High School.
